b. 130

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

b1 in FE (→GE) & EE2

a1 in EE1
..

EE1 features the initial version of the 6th semiquaver, changed in the penultimate stage of proofreading of FE (→GE). The changes of the correction performed on the plate are clearly visible in FE. In addition, the changed note (b1) was provided with a cautionary , which we omit in the main text, since it is superfluous in this context. The accidental was also removed in GE; it is also absent in EE2, in which the corrected note was introduced probably on the basis of GE1.

In addition to the authentic cautionary  before the e2 semiquaver, in the main text we add flats before the L.H. octave.

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

Minim e1 in FE (→EE)

Minim c1 in GE
..

In GE1 the minim is printed at the pitch of e1, however, the ledger line below the note is missing, as a result of which it looks like c1. Consequently, GE2 (→GE3) features here c1, which is a mistake.

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

FE (→GE) are lacking in the  restoring f2 on the 11th small note and in the  restoring b1 on the last one. EE corrected only the latter; in turn, two cautionary accidentals were added –  before e2 (5th quaver) and  before g2 (10th quaver).

b. 137

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

In the main text we omit the cautionary  before c4, featured in FE (→EE). The accidental may be a remaining part of the initial notation of the preceding semiquavers as e3-c4, which would demonstrate that the enharmonic change was performed already in [A].
